To each his own

One thing about the festival season in a south Indian brahmin family is the clothes.

Well, the guys get to wear their silk dhotis and the ladies come dressed like cute penguins in their madisaar saris!

It is an extra long saree (almost 50% longer) reserved for special occasions (usually red color) that they wear in a different way than the casual sari.

San will always be my hottie! She has always been cute to my eyes from the day she walked down the marriage hall and challenged me to be her husband. It was like a bull fightress with the red cape challenging a bull. To this day I am madly running around her, still unable to hit the mark!

To get back on track with the post, there is something about the madisaar sari that is a turn on. The casual San in her jeans and kurthi somehow magically transforms into a madisaar wearing hottie. It is possible that deep down somewhere the image of a madisaar mami is similar to how Hollywood movies portray the woman in her white wedding gown for desi boys like me!

Indian ancestors seem to have perfected the art of packaging. Cover almost everything, expose without really exposing, and let curiosity take care of the rest..

Well, as long as San keeps her "Koorai pudavai" in good shape and wears a madisaar once a year, she will still be my hottie when she is old and gray!

from day till this one.. kuninja thalai nimiraama kudumbam nadatharen!

just kidding..

Hi Loved this post. I've bee meaning to delurk and say hi. It was such a pleasant surprise running into your family a few weeks back at Pump it up. Your family is every bit as adorable as I'd imagined from your posts. Only, the kids looked a lot smaller in person,than in the blog pics. Please keep the pics and posts coming, we look forward to them.-Hema A

in case you are wondering this post was not an attempt to get brownie points or make up with san in some way.

what really sparked this chain of thought?

last friday I went to yoga alone (MIL stayed back to cook for Varalakshmi pooja). Normally San is just up and brushing her teeth when we come back from Yoga. Last friday walked into the house to see a madisaar wearing San doing pooja in the living room!
